"Welcome Safari User" - Apple.com

[ddma]

Anyone who use Safari to access www.apple.com will see a new Safari image with "Welcome Safari User".

And I'm too lazy to convert the pdf to jpg and host it and link it here. Go figure.

 

[Giaguara]

nah, just upload it as a pdf .. i have the pdf plugin so i can see it in the browser as well..

How did they do that ? They should post the source code somewhere so we can copy this and make our sites Mac-Safari-friendly.

Is it technically possible to make Mac-only sites? To exclude Windows users or at least IE users?

I know there are ways to identify the platform and browser ... but I wouldn't know how to let a site "react" to that ...

Source code?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
			var SafariMessage = "<IMG SRC=\"/home/images/2003/01/safarititle01202003.gif\" WIDTH=\"670\" HEIGHT=\"80\" ALT=\"WELCOME SAFARI USERS. The new PowerBooks.\">"
			var NoSafariMessage = "<IMG SRC=\"/home/images/2003/01/powerbooktitle01202003.gif\" WIDTH=\"670\" HEIGHT=\"80\" ALT=\"The new PowerBooks.\">"
			
			if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Safari') != -1) {
				document.write(SafariMessage);
			} else {
				document.write(NoSafariMessage);
			}
			</SCRIPT>

huh huh

That's not a bad idea, but Apple wouldn't be able to exclude Windows users on their site hehe...It would defeat the whole purpose of the switch campaign...

I couldn't do it, either....because I would lose all my readers on my weblog...

Still, though, it has potential hehe...

I am going to Apple.com to check this out.

Where is that plugin?

 

[Giaguara]

Cat, just try to see this with Windows

 

[Giaguara]

hey there is a plugin for *all browsers* to see pdfs. i forgot where i got it but you can get it from versiontracker.

 

[Cat]

...try to see this with Windows...

I'd never have thought somebody here would encourage me to use Windoze, least of all you Giaguara ...

 

[kenny]

Oh for goodness sake... it's not that exciting...

 

[toast]

No, but it's fun. I'm getting this on my homepage

www.bancomicsans.fr.st

EDIT: nah... finally I'll make one for Chimera users... muhahahaha.

 

[Giaguara]

Cat, REALLY, see THAT link in a browser that identifies itself as Windows! And then as one that identifies itself as anything else but windows... you WILL notice the difference!!!!

 

[Giaguara]

Toast yessssh i want one for Chimera users...

Maybe i'll do something to the page where is my tattoo ... so you'll see bigger or images if you browse with Chimera...

 

[toast]

Sounds like eugenistic to me, can take dangerous...

Thanks anyway for the code, ksv. I was too lazy to get it meeself.

 

[mfsri]
